12. Lessons learned Done well: Take off of "new regions" (LA, Asia, ACP)
National vs Regional vs Cross-Regional
Increased quality of applications
Could have done better:
Larger coverage of priorities, thematic areas
More awareness on cross-cutting priorities
Integration in HE of migrants & refugees from affected countries
Wider diversity of partner / applicant organisations
Projects' innovation potential
Better involvement of students
More active and transparent role of Ministries of Education (strengthening impact at national level)
